I searched and searched, but no luck.

I bought a hard line from Inline Tube for my 425 Toro motor and I cannot figure out how it is supposed to go on.

I must be missing something or they sent me the wrong tube.

Maybe I have the wrong pump?

Can any of you post a photo of the pump/tube/carb?

Thanks,

 

Anybody? Just trying to figure out if I need extra fittings or if ILT sent me the wrong part...

 

Sorry, I can't send you a pic. But the pump-to-carb fuel line is notorious for being made wrong by just about everybody. If you're lucky it's simply routed a little differently than the factory-original line but the ends will still hook up properly. But sadly it's usually worse than that.

That said, you could have the wrong pump, the wrong carb, a different intake manifold, a carb spacer, .....

 

I don't know if it's the same for the non-FWD cars, but I have a 425 in my '67 Delta 88 that I bought a new pump-to-carb line for, and I bought it from Inline Tube. It fit fine.

If it would be of help to you, I can take a picture of it and post it.

 

I went out and snapped some photos. Yes, I know the engine shouldn't be gold, but that's what the previous owner painted it, and I haven't repainted it yet.

I actually went for the higher-cost stainless steel line instead of the regular base-metal line. That actually turned out to be somewhat of a mistake as it took about a half-dozen or so remove-and-install sequences where it connects to the pump to stop it from leaking. I was told that this could happen as stainless is harder, and it takes more effort to get the metal-to-metal seal to form and hold. But it finally did stop leaking, and it's been several years now with no problems.

 

Maybe... they made and sent a crap one like they did with me, then tried to blame my engine [all factory parts] then lots of documented lies on their part, defamation, interweb drama... then at Homecoming the drunk fools stole my stuff, ruined my property, and assaulted and injured me. That's the kind of folks you are dealing with. I have photos.

Their part was about 10-15 degrees off proper angle, and interfered with the thermal valve on the intake. Could not be bent to correctness w/o destroying it so I sent all three back. I even offered to make [for free] a test fit jig that they could use to verify a first run part for correct fit so they would not make more crap in the future. They did not accept.

I promised to tell the ending to the story when they admitted to the many [around 20] provable lies they set forth on the chat site, and apologized for asserting that I had sold cracked heads as "H" replicas. Still wating.... they took another route, surprisingly enough.

 

Ha Ha

Chris, I was half waiting to hear from you on this.

I am well aware I am dealing with the devil here thanks to your past posts.

Was just hoping to get lucky, but no, I'm pretty sure this tube was made by the ILT randomizer bender.

I think I'll just send it back and get some nice fuel line to use...
